You're too experienced to keep being treated like a new grad and too skilled to keep doing the same thing for the same pay.
About this role
You're too experienced to keep being treated like a new grad and too skilled to keep doing the same thing for the same pay. The roles at this level are designed around that inflection point.
West Sacramento — Washington Unified — is a compact district where you'll see a high-need caseload with strong interdisciplinary teams (school psych, RSP, AT specialist) that actually show up to IEP meetings prepped.
Your day runs on the school calendar — 7:45am to 3:30pm across your West Sacramento-area sites, with prep time, lunch, and a real summer off (not "extended school year mandatory"). Caseloads are capped at 55 IEPs with a dedicated assessment day each week where you're not scheduled for sessions. Service-delivery grid is yours to run; IEP meetings run 2-4 per week in peak season with a coordinated SpEd team that shows up prepped.
What this role looks like
- Specialization bonuses: +$5K–$10K/year for in-demand focus areas when you pursue certification
- Clear advancement tracks — Senior SLP, Lead, Clinical Supervisor, Director — not "vague promises"
- $2,500/year CEU budget; ASHA dues + CA license renewal paid; specialty-cert stipends on top
- Compensated mentorship time when you start supervising CFs — paid, not piled on top of your caseload
Who thrives here
This role is for the SLP who knows they're ready for more responsibility but hasn't seen a clear path to it. We have advancement tracks (Senior, Lead, Clinical Supervisor, Director) with real pay bands — not vague "opportunities for growth."
Highlights & benefits
- Pick your specialty focus; we flex intake
- $2,500/year CEU budget + specialty-cert stipends
- Clear advancement tracks (Senior, Lead, Supervisor)
- 68% of mid-career hires promoted within 2 years
- Washington USD — strong IEP team, compact district footprint
Requirements
Required
- Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from an ASHA-accredited program (CAA)
- CCC-SLP (ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence) — active, in good standing
- Current California SLP license (out-of-state clinicians: we reimburse the CA license fee and help you through the application)
- Minimum 2 years of post-CF clinical experience (3+ preferred); pediatric experience strongly preferred for clinic-based roles
- California Speech-Language Pathology Services Credential (CTC) — required for school-based placement. Out-of-state SLPs: we'll help you apply via CTC's out-of-state pathway (allow 6-10 weeks).
- DOJ/FBI Live Scan fingerprint clearance, TB clearance within 12 months, current CPR certification (we reimburse renewal)
Nice to have
- Spanish-English bilingual skills (BESA, BESOS administration a plus)
